Hundreds Years After I Was Called Just Corpse, I’ve Become Strongest Undead When I Woke Up

Chapter 76: I Tried Some Dishes

I passed through the inspection at the gate along with the female Holy Knight, managing to enter the city from the proper route for the first time since I was reborn as an undead.

To begin with, you can't even enter the city PROPERLY without me.

I can jump over the rampart at night though

There's still a one in ten thousandth chance that someone will see you, right? By the way, you know the place where the ship leaves from, right?

Ah.

Good grief do you know what kind of mess would have happened if I didnt find you?

I was completely at a loss for words and couldn't say anything back to her.

Nevertheless, I never even considered the fact that coming to this city by myself was a mistake.

In fact, she would be injured if she got involved in those adventurers' ambush.

The ship was scheduled to depart tomorrow, but we decided to stay in the inn for today.

And since this was a port city, there were many inns.

We entered after finding an appropriate inn.

To be honest, the entrance was huge.

It seemed to be one of those high-class inns.

Although the inns used by royalty were splendid they cost a lot of money to stay for a night.

Of course, everything was paid by the female Holy Knight.

I was penniless, after all

Welcome.

A young female staff member came out and bowed.

Although she was looking curiously at me since I hid my face with hood, I was almost moved to tears when she asked Two people? to us.

Yes, two of us.

Which room are you looking for?

Please, give us a double room.

Understood, I'll look for the room.

Eh?

W-Wait a minute.

D-Did she just say double room?

I was sure that we took two single rooms back then in the royal capital, but

Could it be that she was really sad about me leaving her behind? I mean, even if I wanted to point out that fact, my communication disorder kicked in and I lost the chance to speak.

I would talk to her later in a place without strangers.

Please, follow me.

In the end, I could only follow in silence as we were guided into the double room.

When it was finally just the two of us, I tried to ask her.

Uhm why are we staying in the same room?

You might escape again if I dont do this.

I-I've told you already that I won't escape anymore We're going to board the ship after all

Hmph, who knows what kind of stunt you might pull this time? Maybe you're going to try to swim across the sea.

Ah, she was right. Why didn't I think about that?!

I almost clapped my hands upon realizing that, but I held back.

Sure enough, she was right.

The current me didn't actually need to board a ship to cross the sea. I could just swim across.

No, it would probably be even faster to fly.

The female Holy Knight still had no idea about it, but I managed to learn flight magic during the short time we were separated.

I-I have no idea about the direction of the place we're going to, so I might end up arriving at a completely different place if I go by myself

But then, different from a ship where I just needed to ride it to arrive at our destination, I might end up straying midway if I went by myself.

Yeah, I had no choice but to use a ship this time, after all.

Eh?

Eh?

I flinched reflexively since the female Holy Knight seemed to be quite surprised.

Did she get pissed off by something again?

Why the bed is?

Ah.

When I followed her line of sight, I found out that the bed was at least twice the size of a normal bed.

This might be the legendary double bed.

W-Wait a minute. Why is there only one bed here? Come to think of it, I didn't say two single beds back then

The female Holy Knight turned around in a flash, leaving the room.

I want to change the room type.

It seemed she was asking for a room change.

As expected of someone with terrifying communication power like her, so smooth.

If both of us were suffering from communication disorder, we would have surely used this room, unable to speak up.

Our deepest apologies only double bed rooms are available right now

But after listening to the staffs explanation, it seemed this double room was the only one available.

We couldn't blame the staff for this matter either since it was situational, not deliberate.

Well it might be a bit more expensive, but if you want, we can prepare two single rooms, but

Guh You're right

The female Holy Knight looked extremely troubled for some reason.

I sent a telepathic message to her from behind, since there was no choice, Let's just use two single rooms.

But it seemed she didn't catch my telepathic message, not that I had one to begin with.

Forget it, we'll use the previous room.

Our deepest apologies for your trouble.

Don't worry about it. It isn't your fault to begin with.

EEEH?!

Why didn't you take the two single rooms?!

Upon returning to the room, the female Holy Knight seemed to detect my anxiety. She opened her mouth.

I've said before that you might try to escape again.

I've told you that I have no intention to escape though

But well, I guess I'd be fine even if I slept on the floor.

I remembered that during my active era as an adventurer, I spent most of my time sleeping outdoors. Using inn was a rare occurrence.

Let me make it clear You better not try to do something funny when I sleep, you hear me?

I won't do that!

After that, we decided to grab some grub.

Well, an undead like me didn't actually need a meal though.

Just in case, do you have a sense of taste? Since it's been a while, how about you try to eat too? Fortunately, this inn provides room service to deliver meals to the room too.

I see. Let me try their dishes too.

The dishes we ordered were delivered to our room a short time later.

A mysterious, round-shaped dish's aroma drifted in our room.

What is this? It seems to be made with grilled bread, but

You seriously don't know about pizza?

Pizza?

This was the first time I heard the name of such a dish.

It seemed they placed various kinds of toppings on top of raw, flattened dough made from wheat flour and baked it in the oven.

Since we were in the port city, the toppings were mainly seafood, but it seemed they had many other variations as well.

I see, it probably didnt exist or had yet to spread in the era you were alive. It's really popular nowaday, one of the most widely known dishes.

Come to think of it, this was the first time I saw a proper dish of this era.

I mean, after hundreds of years, it was only natural that dishes that I had no idea about appeared one after another.

I tried to take a bite.

Y-Yummy?!

My eyes opened wide the moment I took the first bite of that dish.

Finally, I properly confirmed that I had not lost my sense of taste since becoming an undead. The dishes from the village which I saved back then were simply lacking seasoning after all.

Pizza is delicious, right? You'll gain weight if you eat too much though

Munch munch

Sure enough, this was so delicious to the point that I ended up overeating.

Is this fish?

It's sliced raw fish.

Eh? You can eat raw fish?

Yeah, I hear that it's a rather popular custom around this area nowadays. It seems to be a custom from the east.

Hee

I tried to eat the sliced raw fish.

I might have hestitated to do so if I was still alive, but there was no need to worry about getting a stomach ache after I became an undead.

Ah, this is yummy.

Maybe because it had been a long time since my taste buds had gotten strong stimulation, by the time I noticed, I had already eaten quite a lot of the dishes.

You, can actually eat that much?

Maybe because I'm an undead, I can literally eat forever if I feel like it.

I mean what about your digestion?

Come to think of it, I never went to toilet ever since I became an undead.

As expected, didnt I need to excrete something when I ate food?
